Thanks to everyone who participated! It gives me great pleasure to announce the winners of the LOCKERZ Contest!

2nd Prize, 100 LOCKERZ points: sue

Congratulations to the winners! You will be contacted shortly with how to redeem your points!

Like many of you, one of my guilty pleasures is puttering endlessly on the internet. I know I have about a million other productive things I could be doing, but it’s like my wrist has been taken over by some belligerent foreign entity that wants nothing more than to CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!

And you know what? That’s fine, because I’ve discovered a website that actually REWARDS you for wasting time on the internet. Meet Lockerz.

Here’s how it works: you go to the Lockerz site, and do all the things you would do on the rest of the web, except the difference here is you are rewarded with points. The more things you do on Lockerz, the more Lockerz points you accrue, which can then be spent on discounts in one of the site’s many fabulous rotating brand boutiques.

Here’s just a short list of things you can do to earn points:
1. Watching videos
2. Logging in
3. Referring a friend
4. Shopping/making a purchase
5. Answering a poll question
6. Answering bonus questions
7. Playing a video game
8. Entering a sweepstakes
9. Listening to music

Easy, right? Stuff you are already doing everyday for FREE, right? I think it’s about time you start getting what you’re due for your mindless self-indulgence.

The best part? Lockerz has extended a very special contest to readers of CMYKaboom, offering one lucky reader 500 free Lockerz points, and 100 points to one runner-up! Here’s how to enter:

1. Go to Lockerz.com and create an account
2. Post a comment back on this post

Winner and runner-up will be selected at random from the commenters. Contest ends Friday, October 1, and winners will be announced Monday, October 4.

Now go forth, and putter!
